Russian FM hopes uniqueness of Karabakh conflict will help to solve it

PanARMENIAN.Net - "The Nagorno Karabakh conflict is unique in its nature and it is the only conflict, where interests of Russia, the United States and OSCE do not contradict each other, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated to a joint press conference with RA Acting Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian in Yerevan. He said the OSCE Mink Group has worked out such a document for settling the conflict that a lot of other conflicting countries would envy. "I hope exactly this uniqueness will help Baku and Yerevan to reach a new level of settlement. Authorities of Armenia and Azerbaijan must make final decision, but mediator countries, including Russia, will be guarantees of commitments reached during the negotiation process," Sergey Lavrov underscored.



In his part RA Acting Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian said still there is no agreement on principal issues of the settlement. "Exactly principles of settlement become a stumbling block. At the coming April meeting with Azeri FM talks over these issues will be continued, which will allow the Co-Chairs to begin preparation works for a meeting between Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan after parliamentarian elections in Armenia," Vartan Oskanian said.
